Datt is one of the two most popular Fuller House ships strongly rivaling Dteve (D.J. and Steve). The ship first started in the episode, "The Not-So-Great Escape", where D.J. hangs out with her boss' son, Matt. On D.J.'s way out, Matt yells "D.J., wait!" and she immediately runs up to him and kisses him. After their kiss Matt says that he was just going to tell her that she forgot her purse. Embarrassed, D.J. leaves. Once D.J. leaves, Matt does a short victory dance as he is heading to clean their table.

Ever since then, D.J. and Matt have gone out on a few dates and D.J. ended up really liking him. However, she had to make the choice between Matt and Steve (her high school boyfriend whom wants to reunite.) D.J. ended up rejecting both of them saying that she is not ready to date yet (due to the recent passing of her

husband, Tommy). However, D.J. is still good friends with both of them. In Season 3, it was revealed that after a few weeks/months of dating D.J., he was going to propose to D.J. in Japan. When Matt proposes to D.J., she says yes, but still feels conflicted on if she really loves Matt, and right after Steve leaves C.J., when Matt tries to tell everyone that him and D.J. are getting married, she tells him she can't marry him because, even though she really likes him, it still doesn't feel right.

Quotes

"D.J., I know what we have is real. And we're already great partners. So, I would just love a chance to see where this journey will take us. "

"I made you a little gift basket for our trip. It's got all your favorite snacks, in case you get hungry. It's got Dramamine, because you told me once that you get motion sickness. Oh, and I got you some lavender-scented hand lotion, because, well, I know you love lavender."

D.J. and Matt first met when Matt first walked into the clinic to introduce himself to his new co-workers (as he will be the temporary head of the clinic while his father is gone).

He thanks her and they joke about it. Matt tells D.J. that he looks forward to working with her, and him and his father leave.
